2009 Born for the 2025 OHL Draft

That's interesting. Might slip to the second round? Who from outside the GTHL will likely get picked ahead of him?

its more americans in the 1st then anything else.

Are there going to be a lot more Americans taken in the early rounds this year because of the NCAA rule change?

yes

 

[OMG67]

yes

What about the USNTDP? Is there still not a ton of risk associated to players projected to make that roster? How do you feel about that program compared to the OHL? The 67’s have about 3-4 players playing in that program right now and no talk about any of them leaving it. I’m curious to see how that program remains competitive. I think players will try out for that team as their Plan “A.” The ones that don’t make it may sign in the OHL. I’d be surprised if there was a significant shift in that regard.

the roster is announced before the draft but most of those players will play in the ohl at some point. i also think that alot of agents prefer their kids in the ohl over the usntdp. most of the kids who fill out surveys are 80 percent ohl vs ushl/ntdp.

Didn’t know this lol that’s crazy they’re always producing big time talent. Obviously the wright years there and Robertson played there too and many more I’m sure

Don Mills is a weird one. Some age groups they’re the absolute cream of the crop, like the David Levin/Jacob Tortora year, the Wright/Othmann year and now the 09’s, but then some years they’re one of the worst teams in the GTHL.

They recruit the best players by getting a money guy to pay for the players and sometimes parents expenses. Hence the best players play for free.

It's the dark side of minor hockey, for sure. It's why you see random age groups be good within different orgs. Marlies and JRC are the lone exceptions, as they have the history people want to play for while also having a money guy at every age group; most organizations can't do that.

The Alliance released their top prospects games roster. Always nice to get an official height and weight of players
